10th of September, 2024

Unforgettable experience. The guide, Santiago, is a professional from head to toe. Very attentive, very knowledgeable and a great person. The group of porters and cook have also been wonderful. They have looked after us very well, always with a smile and the cook is a spectacle. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend this team to the next brave people who venture on the Inca Trail.

It is a magical journey that pushes your body to the max but with rewards around every corner. Nature is incredible, Machu Picchu is a dream and the energy of the place is beautiful.Nuestros guías (Iza y Percy) fueron muy cálidos y sus relatos son atrapantes ! Se genera un vínculo muy lindo con ellos y el resto del grupo.

We were delighted with the organization of our trip to Peru. Everyone at the Inka Trail Expeditions agency was very kind and helpful at all times. They gave us very good advice and we enjoyed the visits and tours planned. We are looking forward to seeing more of this wonderful country.

31st of August, 2024

The activities were varied and very appropriate for the tour that was carried out with a great guide who instructs on the history of this beautiful place. I just think that it should be more specific with brochures or pamphlets to better enjoy the experience.

6th of August, 2024

The landscapes were incredible and the explanations of the guide Percy, who was always explaining to us and always paying close attention to all the members of the group so that we arrived safely at our destinations, not to mention the delicious food provided by our cook, the Chinese (Victorian), a real chef! He took care of feeding us with the appropriate meals for the activities! Highly recommended!!
